Oxygen Sensor/ Vacuum Switch Socket - Lang

The Lang 1015A Oxygen Sensor/Vacuum Switch Socket is a specialized tool designed for the precise and efficient servicing of engine management and emissions systems. This professional-grade socket provides essential clearance for the removal and installation of oxygen sensors and vacuum switches, protecting sensitive wiring harnesses from damage during service procedures. It is an indispensable addition for technicians performing diagnostics and repairs on a wide range of vehicles.

Key Features

• Slotted Wiring Clearance: Features a precisely engineered side cutout that allows the socket to navigate around sensor wiring, eliminating the need to disconnect or cut harnesses and significantly reducing the risk of damage during component service.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from robust steel, this socket is built for durability, designed to withstand the demands of frequent use with both hand tools and impact drivers in professional automotive and industrial settings.
• Secure Sensor Engagement: Precision-machined geometry ensures a firm, non-slip grip on sensor bodies, enabling the correct application of torque and preventing the rounding of stubborn, heat-cycled sensors.
• Versatile Drive Compatibility: Designed for use with common 3/8" square drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It also incorporates a 7/8" hex drive for enhanced leverage options, integrating seamlessly into existing professional tool sets.
• Enhanced Access: Its strategic side opening and compact profile improve reach to sensors located in difficult-to-access areas, such as near exhaust manifolds, catalytic converters, and firewall regions.

Applications

This specialized tool is ideal for servicing and replacing threaded oxygen (O2) sensors in exhaust systems across a wide range of domestic and import vehicles, including Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler models. It is also suitable for the removal and installation of vacuum switches, PVS, TVS valve sockets, and other threaded engine management components. Technicians will find it critical for emissions system diagnostics and repairs that necessitate sensor removal while preserving wiring and connectors.
